Hi Anand,

I would recommend using a Kendo UI Validator with a custom validation rule that checks the widget's value. For example:  
<div class="demo">
    @(Html.Kendo().DropDownList()
          .Name("products")
          .DataTextField("ProductName")
          .DataValueField("ProductID")
          .OptionLabel(" ")
          .DataSource(source => {
              source.Read(read =>
              {
                  read.Action("GetProducts", "Home");
              });
          })
    )
    <span data-for="products" class="k-invalid-msg"></span> //this span specifies the validation tooltip position
</div>
 
<script>
    $(".demo").kendoValidator({
        rules: {
            hasValue: function(input){
                if (input.is("[name='products']")) {
                    var dropdownlist = input.data("kendoDropDownList");
                    if (!dropdownlist.value()) {
                        return false;
                    }
                }
                return true;
            }
        },
        messages: {
            hasValue: "Please select"
        }
    })
</script>
